Valorant is among the most popular First Person Shooter (FPS) games in the online multiplayer space. The reason for the game’s success can be attributed to its vast roster of characters combined with satisfying gunplay. Another aspect of the game that appeals to its audience is its huge range of weapon skins with unique designs.
